The Roundup

Flames pull out of talks with city; looking at how every NHL arena was funded; Benning speaks on Virtanen in Vancouver; Leafs should be considered contenders; will the Oilers win the division; moving the draft age to 19, fantasy hockey projections and more in this week’s Nation Roundup brought to you by the Daily Dugout.

In the Roundup, we go around the Nation Network and give you some of the best articles of the last couple weeks. Every once in a while it’s good to know what other teams are doing, or maybe you find an interesting article you wouldn’t have found otherwise.

Note* This article is posted across all Nation Network team sites so comments are an open forum.

Corporate welfare needs to stop. If the Aquilini’s ever came looking to feed of the public teat to get a new stadium I’d personally drive the canucks to the airport and wish them luck in their new city. Enough is enough with these pathetic billionaires and their begging for public money to line their own pockets. I suspect most in the lower mainland would cave though. Just like the corporate welfare scam that was the Olympics.

If the Flames left CGY, any dollars I currently spend on them, will still be spent in this area… it will just be other businesses that will benefit. Yes, I do believe we are better off with the Flames than without, but the money they spend comes from us, and we are not leaving.
